He said the four-star hotel is making attractive offers for GCC visitors, adding that the hotel attracts many tourists and visitors because of its prime location as is close to shopping and business centres and is the only four-star hotel that is located on the Corniche and is just 20 minutes from key amusement locations, including Yas Island.

He noted that Ramada comprises 235 rooms and a variety of services and facilities, disclosing plans to open two new hotels in Abu Dhabi with a total 600 rooms.
